Caregiving is the most universal of human acts. But also one of the most invisible. While caring for a child, parent or loved one can be meaningful, and life defining, it can also be exhausting and life breaking. Drawing on her groundbreaking research on baby's brains, UC Berkeley psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik is leading a multidisciplinary project to better understand the social science of caregiving with hopes of translating those insights into practical policies. Gopnik and policymaker Anne-Marie Slaughter join us to talk about how rethinking our approach to caregiving and how we support care providers, could lead to a better, more functional society. Guests: Alison Gopnik, professor of psychology and affiliate professor of philosophy, UC Berkeley; author, "The Gardener and the Carpenter: What the New Science of Child Development Tells Us About the Relationship Between Parents and Children" Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America, a non-profit think tank; author of "Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family" Learn more about your ad choices.

With his themes of repetition and appropriation, Andy Warhol's work can seem mass produced. He was prone to say that his assistants did his work for him and often invented different narratives in interviews. In fact, weaving tall tales and shaping his own mythology was another important aspect of his art: he was creating the ultimate persona of an artist every bit as Pop as his paintings, one who specialized in glacial coolness and glib detachment. Although the paintings might look like they came off of a conveyor belt, that was by design, and Warhol maintained close involvement with his work. In fact, before silkscreen printing became his trademark, Warhol hand-painted the 32 canvasses that make up the iconic 1962 work Campbell's Soup Cans. Warhol gained fame in the 1960s as part of the Pop boom, but this was actually the second phase of his career. He spent the 1950s in New York as a successful commercial illustrator, doing advertisements, book and record covers. All the while he made personal work and had a smattering of shows in small galleries, most of which were ignored or poorly received. But the seeds of his subversive repertoire were being slyly developed in his intimate drawings to which Warhol would return in his later life. For this week's episode, Artnet editor William Van Meter is joined by the journalist, critic, and author of the 2020 biography Warhol, Blake Gopnik. What more could be said about the artist that the heap of other biographies hadn't covered? It turns out, plenty. Gopnik spent eight years researching and writing Warhol, and at almost 1,000 pages it is filled with wonderful details and newly discovered data. On this episode we discuss Warhol by-hand, his pre-Pop era as well as some of his later, less mechanized moments such as his collaboration with Jean-Michel Basquiat, and how he managed to leave his mark on every aspect of his work, handmade and beyond.

Adam Gopnik's newest book was released in April 2024 called All That Happiness Is: Some words on what Matters and takes a look at our society's endless obsession with Striving. Gopnik says society is obsessed with achievement. Young people are pushed toward the “best” school they can get into. Adults push themselves toward the highest-paying, most prestigious jobs, seeking promotions and public recognition. The result is not so much a rat race as a rat maze, with no way out. Except one: to choose accomplishment over achievement. A staff writer for the New Yorker since 1986, Adam Gopnik was born in Philadelphia and raised in Montreal. His first essay in The New Yorker, "Quattrocento Baseball" appeared in May of 1986 and he served as the magazine's art critic from 1987 to 1995. That year, he left New York to live and write in Paris, where he wrote the magazine's “Paris Journal” for the next five years.  He has written 14 books. In the past five years, Gopnik has engaged in many musical projects, working both as a lyricist and libretto writer. Future projects include a new musical with Scott Frankel. Heather and Adam talk about true happiness, and feeling a true sense of accomplishment vs constantly striving to achieve, the society we live in and much more, including the origins of Central Park in NYC.

In Berkeley Talks episode 202, New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik discusses liberalism — what it means, why we need it and the endless dedication it requires to maintain. Liberal democracy, he said at a UC Berkeley event in April, depends on two pillars: free and fair elections and the practice of open institutions, places where people can meet and debate without the pressures of overt supervision. Gopnik said these spaces of “commonplace civilization” — coffeehouses, parks, even zoos — enable democratic elections to “reform, accelerate and improve.” “These secondary institutions … are not in themselves explicitly political at all, but provide little arenas in which we learn the habits of coexistence, mutual toleration and the difficult, but necessary, business of collaborating with those who come from vastly different backgrounds, classes, castes and creeds from ourselves.”And what makes liberalism unique, he said, is that it requires a commitment to constant reform. “People get exhausted by the search for perpetual reform,” he said. “But we have to be committed to reform because our circles of compassion, no matter how we try to broaden them, come to an end.”So it's up to each of us, he said, to always refocus our attention on the other, to re-understand and expand our circles of compassion.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo courtesy of Adam Gopnik.

Today we have another book review, this time we have The Gardener and the Carpenter by Alison Gopnik. This book offers valuable insights into the philosophy of parenting, encouraging us to nurture rather than mold our children. While it may not provide a step-by-step guide, it challenges us to rethink our approach to parenting and appreciate the unique individuals our children already are. We will be answering many questions like: How can I apply the gardener metaphor in my parenting style to foster my child's natural development? What are some practical ways I can create a nurturing environment that supports my child's unique needs? How can I balance guiding my children while allowing them the freedom to learn and grow on their own? What insights from Gopnik's research can help me navigate the challenges of adolescence with my children? How can I use play effectively to enhance my child's learning and development? What strategies can I adopt to mitigate the negative impacts of technology on my child's health and well-being? Let's continue this conversation in today's episode. Follow me on: 1.

We push ourselves toward the highest-paying, most prestigious jobs, seeking promotions and public recognition. As Adam Gopnik points out, the result is not so much a rat race as a rat maze, with no way out. Except one: to choose accomplishment over achievement. Achievement is the completion of the task imposed from outside. Accomplishment, by contrast, is the end point of an engulfing activity one engages in for its own sake. Shermer and Gopnik discuss: mastering the secrets of stage magic (Gopnik's son worked with David Blaine and Jamy Ian Swiss) accomplishment in music family and mentors the concept of the 10,000-hour rule vs. natural talent Adam's new book All That Happiness Is, which offers timeless wisdom against the grain. Adam Gopnik has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1986. He is the author of numerous best-selling books, including Paris to the Moon and The Real Work: On the Mystery of Mastery.

Humanities West completes its 2023–24 season by searching for the real Marcel Proust―featuring Adam Gopnik, who will give our first Vance E. Carney Memorial Lecture. Gopnik has been writing for The New Yorker for more than three decades and has often riffed poetic on Proust. From the September 17, 1990 issue: “. . . watching our building go co-op has been . . . a lot like the experience of reading Proust. You begin hopefully, you dream of new vistas of pleasure opening up before you, you think that your friends will think better of you for having done it . . . and then you get bogged down and the whole thing seems to go on forever.” From the June 14, 1999 issue: “As late as the nineteen-fifties, when most Americans already took it for granted that he was among the greatest of modern writers, a lot of people in France saw Proust as a slightly secondary figure―the way we might have seen a long-winded Scott Fitzgerald, or a Truman Capote who actually got his book written. In the past twenty-five years, though, all that has changed, and Proust has taken his deserved place among the French as at once the most magnanimous and the most exquisite of their novelists . . .” From the March 30, 2015 issue: “Everybody tries to climb Mt. Proust, though many a stiff body is found on the lower slopes, with the other readers stepping over it gingerly.” And from the May 3, 2021 issue: “If Proust, for Updike in the God-haunted nineteen-fifties, was the last Christian poet, we may see him now in more secular terms, as a writer who, perversely, sought serenity not in detachment and self-removal but in attachment and reattachment—a monk within a metropolitan monastery. 'Be here now' is the mystic's insistence. 'Don't be here now' is Proust's material motto: be there then, again. Enjoy, emote, repeat, remember: there are worse designs for living.” Joshua Landy has also been writing and thinking about and teaching Proust for decades. He will explore several Proustian questions: How can we feel at home in the world? How can we find genuine connection with other human beings? How can we find enchantment in a world without God? Does an artist's life shed light on her work? What can we know about reality, other people, and ourselves? When is not knowing better than knowing? Who are we really, deep down? And why does it matter to read about all this in a novel? Dora Zhang will focus on the famous Proust observation that "the only true voyage . . . would not be to visit new lands but to possess other eyes, to see the world with the eyes of another." In Proust's novel the camera provides a crucial means for the narrator to step outside his habitual gaze and to possess other eyes, to look anew on familiar scenes and to see hidden truths therein. Zhang will explore this theme of estranging our vision by highlighting the role of photography in In Search of Lost Time. MLF ORGANIZER George Hammond   A Humanities Member-led Forum program.

In 2016, before most people imagined that Donald Trump would become a serious contender for the Presidency, the New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik wrote about what he later called the “F-word”: fascism.  He saw Trump's authoritarian rhetoric not as a new force in America but as a throwback to a specific historical precedent in nineteen-thirties Europe.  In the years since, Trump has called for “terminating” articles of the Constitution, has marked the January 6th insurrectionists as political martyrs, and has called his enemies animals, vermin, and “not people,” and demonstrated countless other examples of authoritarian behavior.  In a new essay, Gopnik reviews a book by the historian Timothy W. Ryback, and considers Adolf Hitler's unlikely ascent in the early nineteen-thirties. He finds alarming analogies with this moment in the U.S.  In both Trump and Hitler, “The allegiance to the fascist leader is purely charismatic,” Gopnik says. In both men, he sees “someone whose power lies in his shamelessness,” and whose prime motivation is a sense of humiliation at the hands of those described as élites. “It wasn't that the great majority of  Germans were suddenly lit aflame by a nihilist appetite for apocalyptic transformation,” Gopnik notes. “They [were] voting to protect what they perceive as their interest from their enemies. Often those enemies are largely imaginary.”

Die Debatte mit Natascha Freundel, Sabine Adler und Viktor Jerofejew --- Wiederholung vom 12.1.2023 --- Bald haben wir den zweiten Jahrestag der russischen Großinvasion in die Ukraine, ein Ende des Kriegs ist nicht absehbar. Aus diesem Anlass wiederholen wir die Debatte mit dem russischen Schriftsteller Viktor Jerofejew und der Osteuropa-Expertin Sabine Adler. Eine Debatte, die vor einem Jahr viele, auch empörte Hörerreaktionen auslöste: Anti-Russische Propaganda war dabei der härteste Vorwurf. Aber Viktor Jerofejews fatalistische Perspektiven auf Russland sind ebenso bedenkenswert wie Sabine Adlers scharfe Reaktionen. Viktor Jerofejew wurde von Irina Bondas ins Deutsche übersetzt. --- Sabine Adler ist Leiterin des Reporterpools für Osteuropa für die drei Programme des Deutschlandradios. Im Februar 2024 erscheint ihr neues Buch „Was wird aus Russland“ bei Ch. Links. --- Viktor Jerofejew , Autor von u.a. "Die Moskauer Schönheit" oder "Enzyklopädie der russischen Seele", floh nach Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs in der Ukraine im Frühjahr 2022 mit seiner Familie aus Moskau nach Deutschland. 2023 erschien sein Roman „Der große Gopnik“ (Matthes & Seitz). --- Mehr Infos s. www.rbbkultur.der/derzweitegedanke --- Schreiben Sie uns gern direkt an derzweitegedanke@rbbkultur.de

In his latest book, The Real Work, Adam Gopnik undertakes a George Plimpton-esque journey to master skills as diverse as boxing and drawing, bread baking and driving, dancing and overcoming a mental health illness. Gopnik, along the way, shares three themes of mastery and seven mysteries of mastery. Gopnik has called this book a “self-help book that doesn't help” because it does not prescribe steps or tasks. Instead, readers are inspired by his comic essays and by the masters he introduces. Linny and Nancy discuss new skills they want to learn or continue to sharpen. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/frontporchbookclub/support

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff discuss this short audiobook from Steve Martin and Adam Gopnik. Gopnik asks questions, provides context and insights, and then lets the protean Steve Martin tell his own stories, making the work come across as a kind of memoir. Martin's conversational tone elevates the personal recollections of his complex life. We get the great comic from his student days to his pursuit of stand-up, acting, writing and more. Through it all are banjo playing and jokes delivered in Martin's classic style. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by Pushkin Industries.

Encuentra este y otros artículos en http://revistalengua.comBrillante en sus estudios de psicología y mordaz en su activismo y escritura feminista, Valeria Solanas fue mucho más que la casi asesina del rey del arte pop. Los abusos sexuales que sufrió durante su infancia, así como una adolescencia marcada por la experiencia de la prostitución, la llevaron a defender la aniquilación del sexo masculino como el único remedio con el que podían contar las mujeres. Pero Solanas no disparó a Warhol (solo) por ser hombre, sino por haber extraviado —según él mismo le comentó— su manuscrito de «Up Your Ass» (que se podría traducir como «que te follen por el culo»), una obra de teatro firmada por Solanas que Warhol se habría comprometido a producir. Con todo, aquellos disparos fueron más letales para quien empuñaba el arma que para su objetivo directo, quien ni siquiera interpuso una denuncia. Sumida de nuevo en el oscuro mundo de las drogas, la mujer terminó sus días en un asilo benéfico. En las siguientes líneas, recogidas en el libro «Warhol. La vida como arte» (Taurus), el crítico de arte Blake Gopnik narra el que pudo haber sido el último día de vida del artista.Narrado por Antonio Martínez AsensioImagen ilustrativa: Portada del Daily News del 4 de junio de 1968 en la que se informa del intento de asesinato de Warhol.

Here's a sobering thought: The older we get, the harder it is for us to learn, to question, to reimagine. This isn't just habit hardening into dogma. It's encoded into the way our brains change as we age. And it's worsened by an intellectual and economic culture that prizes efficiency and dismisses play.Alison Gopnik is a professor of psychology and philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, where she runs the Cognitive Development and Learning Lab; she's also the author of over 100 papers and half a dozen books, including “The Gardener and the Carpenter” and “The Philosophical Baby.” What I love about her work is she takes the minds of children seriously. The child's mind is tuned to learn. They are, she writes, the R. & D. departments of the human race. But a mind tuned to learn works differently from a mind trying to exploit what it already knows.So instead of asking what children can learn from us, perhaps we need to reverse the question: What can we learn from them?In this conversation, recorded in April 2021, Gopnik and I discuss the way children think, the cognitive reasons social change so often starts with the young, and the power of play. We talk about why Gopnik thinks children should be considered an entirely different form of Homo sapiens, the crucial difference between “spotlight” consciousness and “lantern” consciousness, why “going for a walk with a 2-year-old is like going for a walk with William Blake,” what A.I. researchers are borrowing from human children, the effects of different types of meditation on the brain and more.Book recommendations:Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice SendakMary Poppins in the Park by P.L.

Adam Gopnik is best known for his savvy pieces published in ‘The New Yorker' but the essayist is a true multi-hyphenate. An author, lyricist and lecturer, you might say Gopnik has mastered the art of literature. His latest book, ‘The Real Work: On the Mystery of Mastery', questions the fundamentals of learning and mastering an outlandish skill. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Featuring magician, Justin Gilmore A staff writer at The New Yorker for more than three decades, Adam Gopnik is the author of Paris to the Moon, The Table Comes First, At the Strangers' Gate, and A Thousand Small Sanities, a ''witty, humane, learned'' (The New York Times) defense of liberalism amidst the dogmatic divisions of our time. He is also a sought-after public speaker, widely anthologized essayist, and has collaborated as both a librettist and lyric writer on several musical projects. A three-time recipient of the National Magazine Award and a winner of the George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting, Gopnik was decorated with the French Republic's medal of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters. An examination of the fundamental question of just how it is that we acquire skills, The Real Work delves into the processes used by a variety of master artists, professionals, and instructors.  (recorded 3/21/2023)

Security analyst Jim Walsh talks about the release of a video Thursday morning showing that Russian jets interfered with a U.S. drone in international waters over the Black Sea on Tuesday and forced the U.S. military to down it. And, TikTok parent company ByteDance says the Biden administration is ordering it to sell the video-sharing app to an American-owned company or face being banned in the United States. Axios media reporter Sara Fischer tells us more. And, in his new book "The Real Work: On the Mystery of Mastery," New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik attempts new skills including drawing, baking and boxing, and ponders what the experiences teach him. Gopnik talks about the book.

Humans have an unusually long childhood — and an unusually long elderhood past the age of reproductive activity. Why do we spend so much time playing and exploring, caregiving and reflecting, learning and transmitting? What were the evolutionary circumstances that led to our unique life history among the primates? What use is the undisciplined child brain with its tendencies to drift, scatter, and explore in a world that adults understand in such very different terms? And what can we transpose from the study of human cognition as a developmental, stagewise process to the refinement and application of machine learning technologies?Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we'll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week we talk to SFI External Professor Alison Gopnik, Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Philosophy at the University of California Berkeley, author of numerous books on psych, cognitive science, childhood development. She writes a column at The Wall Street Journal, alternating with Robert Sapolsky. Slate said that Gopnik is “where to go if you want to get into the head of a baby.” In our conversation we discuss the tension between exploration and exploitation, the curious evolutionary origins of human cognition, the value of old age, and she provides a sober counterpoint about life in the age of large language machine learning models.Be sure to check out our extensive show notes with links to all our references at complexity.simplecast.com.

The liberalism that is defended here is therefore itself an object of political contestation, and not just the background against which such contestation takes place. If we can look to the past achievements of liberal polities – the widespread (but still imperfect) acceptance of religious toleration and free inquiry, the relative (but still woefully incomplete) deconstruction of class, gender, and racial hierarchies, the (possibly temporary) defeat of totalitarianisms, left and right – to remind ourselves of the promise of a liberal politics, we can look to our many remaining failings, and to the fact that even our achievements are preserved only through our own vigilance, to remind ourselves how fallible our ideals, and the institutions that we have built upon them, actually are. Liberal freedom is, in short, both a richer and a more fragile ideal than many of its supporters – and critics – realize. – Eric MacGilvray, Liberal Freedom (2022) Professor MacGilvray has been studying the concept of freedom for over 15 years culminating in his latest Cambridge University Press publication: Liberal Freedom: Pluralism, Polarization, and Politics. For anyone interested in the importance of freedom and liberalism and the key concepts and thinkers written as intellectual history from the discerning eye of a political theorist and analytic philosopher you will find this book most engaging. His explanation of its relevant issues are well worth your time in this interview. Here is the publisher's description which provides a nice synopsis of the book's main focus: "We seem to be losing the ability to talk to each other about – and despite – our political differences. The liberal tradition, with its emphasis on open-mindedness, toleration, and inclusion, is ideally suited to respond to this challenge. Yet liberalism is often seen today as a barrier to constructive dialogue: narrowly focused on individual rights, indifferent to the communal sources of human well-being, and deeply implicated in structures of economic and social domination. This book provides a novel defense of liberalism that weaves together a commitment to republican self-government, an emphasis on the value of unregulated choice, and an appreciation of how hard it is to strike a balance between them. By treating freedom rather than justice as the central liberal value this important book, critical to the times, provides an indispensable resource for constructive dialogue in a time of political polarization."

There isn't a single subject that Adam Gopnik's prose can't bring to life. As staff writer at the New Yorker since 1986, he has written about almost everything, including, just in the last year, Proust, gun control, the Beatles, and the Marquis de Lafayette. But it's when he starts writing about art that things get particularly delectable: “the runny, the spilled…the lipstick-traces-left-on-the-kleenex” life and style of Helen Frankenthaler; “the paint, laid on with a palette knife, that deliciously resembles cake frosting” technique of Florine Stettheimer; “the monumental and mock-monumental that tango in the imagination” of Claes Oldenburg. And perhaps the reason why Gopnik, who has a graduate degree in art history from NYU's Institute of Fine Art, is able to write about art with such lucidness and latitude is that he isn't just knowledgeable about art; he adores it. The charge, the perfume, the misty spray of the orange peel that is evoked when you stand in the Arena Chapel - everything that, if you're not careful, becoming a professional in your creative field will neutralize. We talked about being docents in large museums, how to hook your audience, how to write a poem about art, Vladimir Tatlin, Steve Martin, Stephen Sondheim, the incompatible forces that create beauty, and the noble truths of art creating and art writing: eye to hand, and I to you.

We are thrilled to be re-airing our episode with Dr. Eric Dearing, who discusses the development of mathematical thinking and the role of the environment in children's development of understanding of mathematical concepts. We discuss methods to bring math into everyday interactions with children, and research on the topic. We also talk about how knowledge of developmental research can inform parenting decisions and techniques. Dr. Eric Dearing is a Professor of Applied Psychology in the Lynch School of Education at Boston College. Dr. Dearing's work focuses on the consequences of young children's lives outside of school on their performance in school and their overall well-being. As a member of the DREME Network, he is partnering with community organizations to better understand how families, early childhood educators, and other family-facing professionals can best support early math learning for children facing social or economic disadvantages. For more information on Dr. Dearing, DREME, and the book, The Gardner and the Carpenter, referenced in this episode, please see below: Gopnik, A. (2016).

Every guest on our show is wholly unique. In the case of Blake Gopnik he might be most well known for a definitive and conprehensive biography of Andy Warhol. But one of the many things that goes into making such a good biography, of course is the learning, dedication and research of the author.Nowhere is this more than case than with Blake Gopnik. He is so well versed in so many aspects of the arts and art history, in particular the category of fine arts, that at times I had to work to catch up with him. That is the kind of thing we like to do on our podcast and I hope that whether you are longtime Warhol fan, novice or skeptic, and whatever your relationship to fine art, that you will enjoy this episode as much as we did concocting it.” Blake Gopnik's Biography Blake Gopnik, Warhol, my comprehensive biography of the Pop artist, was published by Ecco at HarperCollins in 2020. I've been the staff art critic at the Globe and Mail, the Washington Post and Newsweek and am now a regular contributor to the New York Times. I got my PhD in art history from Oxford University.

We are thrilled to be back with our first new episode of 2022! Today, we will be interviewing Dr. Eric Dearing a Professor of Applied Psychology in the Lynch School of Education at Boston College. Dr. Dearing's work focuses on the consequences of young children's lives outside of school on their performance in school and their overall well-being. As a member of the DREME Network, he is partnering with community organizations to better understand how families, early childhood educators, and other family-facing professionals can best support early math learning for children facing social or economic disadvantages. In this episode, we discuss methods to bring math into everyday interactions with children, and research on the topic. We also talk about how knowledge of developmental research can inform parenting decisions and techniques. For more information on Dr. Dearing, DREME, and the book, The Gardner and the Carpenter, referenced in this episode, please see below: Gopnik, A. (2016).

Ernest Hemingway first arrived in Paris in December of 1921. One hundred years later, Emily in Paris is back for another season. Why, chers amis, do we continue to be captivated by stories of Americans in Paris? To get to the bottom of this question, Monica and Emma enlist the help of one of our favourite writers (about Paris and in general): the author and essayist Adam Gopnik. A New Yorker staff writer since 1986, Gopnik moved with his wife and infant son from New York to Paris in 1995 and began filing real-life French dispatches under the New Yorker's then-editor Tina Brown. Select essays from the “Paris Journal,” as the dispatches were known in the magazine, became his book Paris to the Moon (2000), which one might argue was responsible for rekindling North Americans' infatuation with Paris for a new generation. In this interview with Gopnik, we seek to understand why it is that, as Oscar Wilde once put it, “when good Americans die, they go to Paris.”Thank you for listening!
